"This book makes me never want to look through a peep hole again and if I do, I will be looking to make sure there is one in place first! I was going back and forth between who did it and how. Kinsey sure had her work cut out for her in this book."
— Christine (4 out of 5 stars)
“Lord, how I like this Kinsey Millhone…The best detective fiction I have read in years.”
— New York Times Book Review“A woman we feel we know, a tough cookie with a soft center, a gregarious loner.”
— Newsweek“Exceptionally entertaining…an offbeat sense of humor and a feisty sense of justice.”
— San Francisco Chronicle“Kinsey is one of the most persuasive of the new female operatives…She’s refreshingly free of gender clichés. Grafton, who is a very witty writer, has also given her sleuth a nice sense of humor—and a set of Wonder Woman sheets to prove it.”
— Boston Herald“Kinsey’s got brains and a sense of humor.”
— Kirkus Reviews“Millhone is a refreshingly strong and resourceful female private eye.”
— Library Journal" Just like all of Sue Grafton's alphabet books, this was a really great, fun read! Can't wait to start the next one tomorrow! "
— Linda, 2/16/2014" Great read as always with this author. "
— Eileen, 2/15/2014" Hmmm, not quite sure yet. It seemed to be lacking some of the action that the other Kinsey Millhone books had, but the mystery itself was a good one. "
— Kayla, 1/26/2014" I am just loving this series. Each novel has a new and exciting investigation for Kinsey and the continuing saga of her estranged family. These books have kept me engrossed in each situation and hungry for the next one! "
— Carol, 1/23/2014" For some reason, years ago I decided to jump into the series at "I". Realizing I had obviously missed something, I was still glad I had read it. "
— Cassie, 1/18/2014" good cold case style investigation. "
— shana, 1/14/2014" See my review on Sue Grafton's "A is for Alibi" for info on what I think of this series. "
— Hope, 12/31/2013" I want to be Kinsey. Cool under fire, nerves of steel, smart and intuitive. Terrific series. "
— aPriL, 12/8/2013" Good female crime fighting novel. Will definately read some of the other books in the series. "
— Amanda, 10/24/2013" It was a good listen again. I liked the story but it seemed to be a little longer than needed. "
